The Equalizer 3 is an upcoming American action film directed by Antoine Fuqua. It’s the follow-up to 2018’s The Equalizer 2, which was itself based on the original TV show of the same name. Denzel Washington, Dakota Fanning, David Denman, Sonia Ammar and Remo Girone are among the film’s starring cast.
This film marks the first time that Washington and Fanning have appeared together in a film since 2004’s Man on Fire. It follows Robert McCall, a former DIA officer and retired U.S. Marine. Washington and Fuqua have worked four times before on films including “Training Day”, “The Equalizer”, “The Magnificent Seven” and “The Equalizer 2”.

Director Antoine Fuqua announced continuation plans shortly after the second film’s debut. He said to CinemaBlend:
“Personally, I’d love for it to happen. The people have spoken, so let’s hope it has a successful future. Sony has mentioned it and discussed it. I hope we get the chance to do this again. It would be fantastic to work with Denzel again. If that happens, I’ll be looking forward to The Equalizer 3.”
The Equalizer 3 will include Denzel Washington’s return as Robert McCall. He’ll also be working with Man on Fire costar Dakota Fanning again though her role is yet unknown. Washington announced his plans to get back into an action star shape in March 2022.
He said:
“They’ve already scripted the third Equalizer film and my part in it means I’ll have to start knocking people up again. I get to go back to beatἰng people up. The Macbeth Tɼagedy and then went out and beat up some folks. It’s the best there is, right?”

The official plot of The Equalizer 3 has not been published, but we can surmise that Robert McCall has tried to make peace with the terrἰble things he’s done in the past and has found an odd comfort in administering justice on behalf of the oppressed.
Surprisingly at ease in Southern Italy, he learns that the local crἰminal bosses govern his newfound buddies. As things begin to turn deἀdly, McCall realizes he must take action to protect his buddies from the mob. Fuqua said:
“I think Denzel would make a fantastic James Bond–esque character if the action took place on a global scale. My conversations with Denzel cover a wide range of topics. I’m working on some projects and have parts for him to play. This is often how he operates. I have to go pitch it, so I’m imagining him as a cowboy or something.”
